While the climax isn't wow, it is a well-written and well structured novel. Surrounding the death of a professor, there are multiple narratives and plots working against each other, with the constant question raised throughout about who is telling the truth. Good, not perfect first novel.
  
This isn't a Star Wars comic, this is Star Wars, plain and simple. Vader is still reeling from the disgrace of loosing the Death Star, and very interested in the young rebel responsible. Greatly drawn, well plotted and a hell of a lot of fun to read!

Captivating
Heart wrenching
How would Death as a narrator describe mortality during WW2? Heartbreakingly.
Any review For this book cannot do it justice. So what will be in store for you while reading this groundbreaking piece of literature? - Heartbreak. Have some tissues ready.

There is no doubt that this book is tense and a cracking read. (2 more)
One to get you thinking for sure, maybe even unnerving!
Superbly written.
Set in an Authoritarian future, where everybody has a designated role in life - aversion to the state is punishable by death

Finally get to see a King Kong movie that doesn't revolve around a love story. (2 more)
Every scene with Kong in it is a lot of fun.
Really innovative death scenes
Human characters were kind of a bore. (0 more)

The Book Thief is one of my favorite young adult novels. The creativity of writing from the perspective of Death made this story memorable to me. I felt close to the characters and empathized with them.
